Ice Maker Not Working? Safe Checks for Samsung, LG and Other Fridges
Ice makers are common repair calls. Try these safe checks before booking a visit.
Try these first
Safety first: unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before touching anything inside, and shut off the water or gas supply where it applies. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility from outside.
- Confirm the ice maker is switched on and the bail arm or sensor is not blocked.
- Check that the water filter is not clogged or overdue for replacement.
- Look for ice buildup in the ice maker or fill tube; let it thaw if frozen.
- Make sure the water supply valve behind the fridge is open.
- Use the reset or test button described in your owner's manual.

FAQ
Why did my ice maker stop making ice?
